Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Boss DM-2W Delay Waza Craft is a Waza Craft reissue of the classic early-1980s DM-2 analog bucket-brigade delay, delivering the same fat, warm, natural analog echo with characteristic dark, gently rolled-off repeats but without the clock noise that plagued the original. Its all-analog signal path gives soft, organic repeats that decay into murk, and a Custom mode extends the maximum delay from 300 to 800 milliseconds while adding warmth and clarity for a more modern analog-delay sound, with a sweet, addictive flutter on the repeats. Having both the old-school dark Standard voice and the clearer Custom voice in one box lets players straddle vintage murk and modern clarity. With expression pedal input and stereo outputs, it suits players wanting genuine vintage analog delay character for slapback, ambient repeats, and warm rhythmic echoes across rock, blues, and indie.
The JAM Pedals Delay Llama Mk. III is a hand-built analog bucket-brigade delay using faithful reproductions of the beloved Panasonic MN3205 BBD chips. It delivers a juicy, characterful analog echo inspired by vintage tape units, warm and organic yet a touch brighter than many analog delays so repeats stay present in a mix before decaying naturally. The Mk III keeps the original analog engine while adding a tap-tempo footswitch, a subdivision switch and a hold function for self-oscillating runaway textures. It suits everything from subtle slapback and ambient swells to wild oscillating soundscapes, and is widely praised as one of the best-sounding analog delays available.
